What Can I Do With All This Hair?

So...I've got about 23-24 braided chunks of pony mane...all of it over 1 foot long, most in the 2 foot range....so now the question....what can I do with it all? I'm keeping one "as is", it is the white/black mixture braid from just behind her bridlepath. The rest is all white hair. I will probably make a dreamcatcher with some of it...but I'll only need about one braid for that.

Key fobs?
Watch-bands?
Necklace? ... [i]though I wonder if it'd be scratchy?[/i] ...
Someone a friend knows made me a 'basket' out of the hank of tail hair from my Peruvian.

Shoot! :evil: I *know* I've got a pic of the basket at PB but I'll be darned if I can find it! I'll have to look later, I've really got to get going.

I can do a keychain....I used to make keychains at the Boy Scout camp with pulled bits of tail hair from all the horses camp used combined for weekly awards.

a basket sounds neat..would love to see the picture whenever you have a chance to find it. I've made baskets out of flat reed stuff (normal basket making supplies? LOL) for years..haven't done it in about 5 years, but I still remember how.
